Annex VI (air pollution)

Annex VI is part of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, specifically aimed at reducing air pollution from maritime transport. It establishes regulations to limit harmful emissions like sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from ships, promoting cleaner fuels and technologies. The goal is to protect the environment and public health by improving air quality and reducing the negative impacts of shipping activities. Compliance helps mitigate climate change and supports sustainable maritime practices, making a positive contribution to global efforts in reducing pollution.
